BEAUTY: 11 Aspects Most Men Subconsciously Use to Judge Women's Beauty When They First See Them

His eyes do not spend more than five seconds looking at her, yet in those five seconds his brain has made its calculations deciding whether she is attractive or not. What did he see in those five seconds?

Attractiveness is both subjective and objective. Society defines a lot of our judgments on each other’s attractiveness today, as it has done throughout history.

However, it has also more recently been proven by research that we are born into this world with an innate understanding of judging beauty as well. For instance, research has shown that babies recognize attractiveness in facial characteristics of people they look at at even a few hours old.

Attractiveness is useful biologically in a number of ways chiefly because it is generally a good indicator of the fitness of the genes of a person. Therefore, throughout history it has played a key role in mate selection.

Attractiveness today has important social consequences for women as well as men in the dating arena. For instance, attractive people have more dates than less attractive people, and people who have dated more attractive individuals report being more satisfied with their dates.

There are many common things that count as beauty markers for both sexes, male and female. However, e this article is about the top 11 bodily markers that make women attractive to "MOST" (not all) men in those first few seconds of a man glancing at a woman, this hub will focus on those.

SKIN COMPLEXION: 

It has been proven that most men find a light skin tone attractive in a woman across races and ethnicities, and have done throughout history. Women also in general are considerably lighter than men.

However, a study established that people judge a light brown skin tone as more attractive that n a pale or dark skin tone, the complexion usually possessed by a tan Caucasian or a light skin black African.

BLEMISH FREE BODY:

A clear, acne free, wrinkle free, blemish free face and a blemish free body give any woman a high rating in the beauty test.

Researchers at Rice University and the University of Houston conducted a study on beauty’s effect on success, limiting their study to how facial appearance affects excellence in a job interview. The study found that people with facial blemishes and “disfigurements” – birthmarks, scars, blemishes – were more likely to be rated poorly by their interviewers. The interviewers tended to recall less information about these candidates’ which negatively impacted their evaluations.

In that glance, when a man sees a lady he finds attractive, it sends pleasurable feelings to his brain and makes her face and features stick. Blemishes have the opposite effect, and more blemishes means a reduced attractiveness rating or the forgetting of the features just seen altogether.

HEAD PROPORTIONS IN RELATION TO BODY:

Researchers conducted a test in which multiple pictures containing images of the human anatomy, and found out that people considered the most attractive head size to be 7.5 times to 8 times proportional to total body height, in terms of length.

Also, as regards width, the general consensus by experts is that the most attractive head sizes conform most closely with the golden proportion standards.

HAIR COLOR AND STYLE: 

 

A dull color of hair generally is less appealing to men than a lively color. Biologically, this is because dull colors represent aging and diminished fertility. Brown hair, or blonde hair does not fall into the category of dull hair. Dull colored hair is hair that is either grayish owing to age or malnutrition, or without glossiness.

According to a research conducted by Garnier, 71% of men sampled in its study opted for dark haired women as an ideal partner.

According to the United Kingdom’s Telegraph, 72% of men chose shiny hair as more attractive than hair without gloss.

In a recent study, the effects of six hairstyles (short, medium length, long, disheveled, knot and unkempt) on women’s facial attractiveness were considered in four categories (Feminity, Youth, Health, Sexiness), and then compared to faces without visible head hair (basic face). Length of hair positively impacted the overall attractiveness of the women with the least attractive women those that had no head hair whatsoever. It was determined that women whose genes can afford the high costs of attaining long hair have better phenotypic and genetic quality.

EYES:

The more obviously white and lively the eyeballs are, the more attractive a woman will seem to a man. This is why many cosmeticians in attempting to beautify women use eye products that draw attention to the eyes, such as eyeliners. Also, the more aligned the eyes are to the golden proportions, the more attractive a man will find them.

Also, men prefer large eyes in a woman. Biologically, they imply that a woman has more estrogen, therefore more reproductive capacity.

 

6

CHEEKS:

Men generally would seem to prefer women with high cheek bones. Also, a woman that can noticeably blush (cheeks turn pinkish) is considered more attractive than a woman who cannot, other things remaining equal.

 

5

LIPS:

Lips with noticeable pheomelanin content (i.e. red and pink lips) are more attractive than plain lips.

 

4

HANDS

A veined-hand reduces the score on the beauty grade.

3

LEGS AND FEET:

A woman who has hairy legs and feet or legs with noticeable veins reduces her chances of being considered attractive in that first glance.Veined feet generally do not have the same effect in reducing attractiveness that veined legs and hand have.

 

2

STATURE AND BODY PROPORTIONS:

Many men consider tall women as more attractive than shorter women. Also, many men seem to like women with noticeably larger breasts and bust size. In a study conducted in France, men were more likely to pick up hitchhikers if they had larger breasts and bust size. Also, women with large buttocks (but not too extreme for their overall body proportions) are considered more sexually attractive by many people and in many parts of the world, than women with flat or average looking buttocks. Also, wide hips are attractive in a woman because biologically it presupposes a high sexuality and fertility and is a marked differentiation from the male body form.

DRESSING:

Arguably, this plays the biggest role in men’s decision of whether a woman is attractive or not at that first glance. How a woman adorns her neck or her feet can have an impact on how feminine and attractive men find her to be. A study done in France determined that men were overwhelmingly more likely to run to the aid of a woman who fell on the street if she was wearing high-heeled shoes than to the aid of a woman who wore flats. Also, wearing revealing clothes generally focus attention on the sexuality of a woman and therefore tend to increase the attractiveness of that woman, if only for that one minute glance. Colors also are influencers of mood, and therefore attractiveness. Orange has been known to be one of the most pleasing colors to the human eye, so unconsciously, it may influence decisions on attractiveness, as so will other colors which contrast in pleasing ways with body structure and skin complexion.
